gusmanak 1 Posted June 11, 2012 Interactive maps are cool. Seeing all of the places I can go and loot stuff is handy... But what I really want is a new kind of interactive map in which you can place marker A, then marker B, and be told how far the distance is, and how long it will take to run it. (Estimated)Isn't that usually the question? "How long will it take?" I mean, once you have quarters and pennies to hold down your 'W' key, that's what it comes down to. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hishnik 23 Posted June 11, 2012 This is what i typed up for another similar thread.I timed the running a while back. It takes you about 20 seconds to cross 100m running straight on flat surface. Which puts you at about a minute per every 300m. So look at the distance, divide by 300 result is number of minutes will take you to run it, assuming you are running straight line, and on flat surface. (:What is missing is the distance, if you look at the map with gridlines, depending on the zoom, each grid is either 1km or 100m. Most of the maps when zoomed in fully will have the 1km grids. Hopefully that helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hexik 1 Posted June 11, 2012 This feature is already in the game. Shift+click on the map and it tells you the distance and adds a marker in your visual view. Only works on servers with it enabled, though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
